I love Melrose and all the funky shops. I didn’t realize you were in LA. I would have invited you to Charles Flemings monthly Secret stairs walk. We saw Grand Park downtown, a new development and the designer of Grand Park gave a talk. Then my friends and I went to Olvera street and ate. They had Day of the dead celebrations with dancers and mariachis. Went in a museum with Day of the Dead artwork. We took the red line there and back. A full day. I will post later to my blog.

Melrose is cool and has added a few new shops since i was here earlier in the year! we only arrived a few days ago and are busy with a few things – so stair walking may have to wait until late Nov or Dec. When we’re settled, will definitely let you know! Thanks so much Karen!
